History Recap / StrongBadEmailE119Animal

* AlluringAnglerfish: One of Strong Bad's attempts at imagining a made-up animal is "one of those deep-sea fangly-fishes", with Homestar's head as the lure (which tries to lure people with promises of free puppies, ginger snaps and Pocket [=PC=]s). and "an awesome back deck on me for dining and dancing".

* YouMakeMeSic: Strong Bad mocks the sender for the blatantly bad grammar in their email.

'''PBTC Homestar:''' Steep prices and trees!

-->'''Voiceover:''' Second-place contestants receive deep-sea fangly-fish. Promotional considerations by Sterrance. Strong Bad's wardrobe furnished by Styles Upon Styles.\\

-->'''Strong Bad:''' Lappy, this is the Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny.\\
'''The Paper:''' Enough already, Strong Bad.

->'''Homestar Lure:''' (''hanging with a girl in a discotheque'') Hey there, Baby Styles. This is a nice dancing club, right? Do you have a phone at your house?

->'''Strong Bad:''' The Paper, come on down and meet your new brother! (''The Paper creeps down an inch'') Come on! (''it edges down a bit more'') It's okay! (''The Paper recedes back up a little'') No, ah, come on! (''The Paper starts coming down again'') Lappy's not going to bite you, or tear at your perforated edges! (''it starts edging down again'') That's it! (''The Paper finally comes down completely'') Lappy, this is The Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny.\\

->'''Strong Bad:''' (''voiceover'') It is a time of desolation, chaos, and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother; babies havin' babies. Then one day, from the right side of the screen, came a man... (''Strong Bad enters carrying a folded laptop under one arm'') a man with a plastic rectangle. I mean, ''laptop computer!'' (''unfolds the laptop, which boots up'')

(''Strong Bad enters carrying a folded laptop under one arm'') a man with a plastic rectangle. I mean, ''laptop computer!''

Behold, Strong Bad has a new computer, the Lappy 486! After boasting about the classy start-up noise ("Dong... DING!") and the "speculations" of his "new" laptop, Strong Bad brings up an email from Spud Jr. asking Strong Bad "what would you like as if you were your own made up animal." After poking fun at "Stu-pud Jr." and his bad grammar ("Come now, Spud Jr. What would Spud Sr. think of such nightmarish grammar and punctuation?"), Strong Bad boasts that his own made-up animal would have all the best features: claws, horns, tentacles, a proboscis, power doors, etc.

Strong Bad then tries coming up with a cool name for his own made-up animal, but his various attempts (the Huuuuuudge, the red-steckled elbermung, and the pardack) keep coming out as dopey-looking blobby monsters. He finally hits pay-dirt with Sterrance, a creature which Strong Bad finds even more adorable than the Cheat (much to the latter's consternation). Strong Bad then closes out the e-mail by introducing the Lappy to the Paper.

He lets me know when I've stopped being funny.\\
'''The Paper:''' Enough already, Strong Bad.\\

In a time of chaos, uncertainty, and no-[=SBEmails=], a man with a plastic rectangle is prepared to set things right... behold, Strong Bad has a new computer, the Lappy 486!

* ArtShift: The segment with the fangly-fish is done in "Powered by the Cheat" style.

* DiscoDan: This is the email that pretty much locked in Strong Bad's "loves outdated technology" character trait; he sees "new computers" as a badge of disdain and happily rattles off specs that suggest the Lappy to be on par with a solar-powered calculator.

-->'''Strong Bad:''' The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable forty-two pounds and features an impressive battery life of one half of ten minutes. The Lappy 486, by Compy.\\

* YouMakeMeSic: "Come now, Spud Jr. What would Spud Sr. think of such nightmarish grammar and punctuation? And poor Spudmom. 'What would you like as if...' I just hope you're good at sports, for their sake."

Strong Bad then tries coming up with a cool name for his own made-up animal, but his various attempts (the Huuuuuuuudge, the red-steckled elbermung, and the pardack) keep coming out as dopey-looking blobby monsters. He finally hits pay-dirt with Sterrance, a creature which Strong Bad finds even more adorable than the Cheat (much to the latter's consternation).

* BlobMonster: The Huuuuuuuudge. Apparently, all but one of the "u"s is silent.
-->'''Strong Bad:''' Euw! No. No Huuuuuuuudge.\\
'''Marzipan:''' Oh, wow, look at the Huuuuuuuudge.
* BodyHorror: The Monstrosity looks like Strong Bad. With compound eyes, tusks, a proboscis, and tentacles for legs, among other things.

* DropTheCow: "Lappy, this is The Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny!"

* OurSloganIsTerrible: Styles Upon Styles' slogan manages to go from overly honest to complete non-sequitur in four words: "Steep Prices and Trees!"

* OurSloganIsTerrible: "Styles Upon Styles: Steep Prices and Trees!"

-->'''Homestar Runner:''' I say there, monstrosity, do you know the times?
-->'''Monstrosity Strong Bad:''' (''gurgles incoherently, foams at the mouth'')
-->'''Strong Bad:''' Oh. I guess I couldn't really talk with that proboscis. Not that I'd have much of an answer for "Do you know the times," anyway.

-->'''Strong Bad:''' Lappy, this is the Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny.
-->'''The Paper:''' Enough already, Strong Bad.
-->'''Strong Bad:''' Oops! Sorry. [[ThatsAllFolks Bye, everybody.]]

Strong Bad briefly considers being "one of those deep-sea fangly fishes", with a custom lure in the shape of Homestar's head and a back-deck for "dining and dancing", but then realizes he wouldn't be able to enjoy the dining and dancing if he was already the fangly fish. He then tries coming up with a cool name for his own made-up animal, but his various attempts (the Huuuuuuuudge, the red-steckled elbermung, and the pardack) keep coming out as dopey-looking blobby monsters. He finally hits pay-dirt with Sterrance, a creature which Strong Bad finds even more adorable than the Cheat (much to the latter's consternation). Strong Bad then closes out the e-mail by introducing the Lappy to the Paper.

* MaliciousMisnaming: "Stu-pud Jr." Likely justified in response to the email being read (see YouMakeMeSic below).

* ParodyCommercial: Strong Bad launches into a spiel reminiscent of this while boasting about the "speculations" of the Lappy 486.

Strong Bad has a new computer! Introducing... Lappy 486! Meanwhile, Spud Jr. asks Strong Bad what he would like as if he were his own made up animal.

* BlobMonster: The Huuuuuuuudge.

* ImStandingRightHere: The Cheat's ([[TheUnintelligible implied]]) reaction to Strong Bad calling him "smelly" and "washed-up".

* MaliciousMisnaming: "Stu-pud Jr." Likely justified in response to Strong Bad's reading the email, which [[YouMakeMeSic makes him sic]].

* MaliciousMisnaming; "Stu-pud Jr."

* ImStandingRightHere: The Cheat's reaction to Strong Bad calling him "smelly" and "washed-up".

-->'''Strong Bad:''' Yeah, I know you heard me. And I stand by it.

* RapidFireNo: Strong Bad's reaction to the red-steckled elbermung: "No, no, no."
* YouMakeMeSic: "Come now, Spud Jr. What would Spud Sr. think of such nightmarish grammar and punctuation? And poor Spudmom. 'What would you like as if...'"
