Sender: Geroge
Strong Bad: (as a narrator) This episode, Strong Bad checks his email.
"Geroge" wants Strong Bad to make a cartoon with only him in it, and with him doing the commentary as well. Strong Bad replies "We already tried that once. Bad idea, man."
It then cuts to a brief clip of Strong Bad standing in the field, bored out of his mind, while a voice-over of Strong Bad talks about what little he did, like scratching the back of his head and looking up at a passing bird (or a cloud that looked like a bird).
Back at the Tandy, Strong Bad says that he didn't think the cartoon was too bad, but admits "Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing. But too much of an awesome thing is...umm...really, really dumb and bad."
Strong Bad: All right, so until next time, send me a little email and I'll give you a little crap.

Tropes:
- Be Careful What You Wish For: "Geroge" asks for a cartoon with only Strong Bad in it. Without the other characters to bounce off him, it doesn't turn out very good.
- Leave the Camera Running: Strong Bad's "cartoon" is just him standing in the Field by himself for about half a minute.
- Mind-Control Eyes: In the stinger, Strong Bad gets hypnotized from staring at the green lines on the Tandy and gets swirly eyes.
- Narrating the Obvious: Strong Bad's commentary during the "him only" cartoon, and at the end.
- Spoof Aesop: Strong Bad concludes that the lesson to be learned from the "him-only" cartoon is "Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing, but too much of an awesome thing is really really dumb and bad."
- That Cloud Looks Like...: During the commentary for the cartoon, Strong Bad speculates that he was looking up at either a bird, or a cloud that kind of looked like a bird. "Y'know, like a bird cloud."
Strong Bad: (narrating) So, this is where I just finished checking my email, and I'm just kinda sitting there. You know, I... I think I was probably staring at my computer screen. You know, watching those green lines go by. I'd be like "Whoa, check out these green lines!" You know, they just keep going. (Strong Bad's eyes begin turning into hypnotic circles and his head begins swaying) Those things could hypnotize you, man. If you watch them long enough. (He finally passes out, dropping onto his keyboard) Oh, see! There I go.
