'''Strong Bad:''' Strong Mad! Put me down! You're making a terrible stnank!\\
'''Homestar:''' It makes me feel all jangly inside!

Strong Bad concludes that ''this'' is the e-mail that needs redoing. Fortunately, the Lappy has a "DO-OVER!" function for just such an occasion.

-->'''Strong Bad:''' What would I do differently, Richie? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, except I might go back and taste out one of them Cheatcakes. Those things looked a-pretty good!\\
'''Homestar:''' (''appearing in his the Cheat costume, with a paper bag lapped "MOLDY BREAD, GUYS"'') Meeeeeeh?\\
'''Strong Bad:''' No! Wait! Nothing! Never! I regret ''nothing!''\\
'''Homestar:''' (''disappointed'') Meeeeeeh...

!!Tropes:
*BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Strong Bad's first two do-overs end disastrously.
*BrickJoke:
**Strong Bad claims that he prefers to use the word "stnank" instead of "mistake". Later, when his do-over of "little animal" goes awry, he shouts at Strong Mad "You're making a terrible stnank!"
**Likewise, Homestar and Strong Bad both refer to the former as "Homestar, from school" at different times.
*CardiovascularLove: Heart symbols appear over Homestar's head when he falls for Strong Bad.
*ComicallyMissingThePoint: "The Cheat's not a cow, you know..." "THE CHEAT IS SO A COW!"
*ContinuityNod: This e-mail revists the events of [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE35Sisters "sisters"]] and [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE23LittleAnimal "little animal"]], and makes reference to the Cheat's Cheatcakes from [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE98StupidStuff "stupid stuff"]].
*ExtremeOmnivore: Homestar eats the change dropped by Strong Bad during the second do-over.
*NeverHeardThatOneBefore: Strong Bad reads Richie's signature of "Crapfully yours" as [[SarcasmMode "Totally not gettin' old."]]
*PaperThinDisguise: Homestar's the Cheat disguise consists of covering himself in yellow and painting black spots on his head. In an Easter egg at the end, the Cheat is similarly thinly-disguised as Homestar on a date with Marzipan.
*PunctuatedPounding: In place of the promised "sage advice", Strong Bad gives Homestar one of these during the do-over for "little animal".
-->'''Strong Bad:''' DON'T! EVER! DRESS! UP! As The CHEAT! AGAIN! PARSLEY! SAGE! ROSEMARY! And THYME!
*RecordNeedleScratch: Interrupts the romantic music playing during Strong Bad's do-over of "sisters" when Strong Bad loses his train of thought.
*ShakeSomeoneObjectsFall: Change falls out of Strong Bad's pockets (presumably) when Strong Mad shakes him down.
*ShoutOut:
** The Easter egg picture of "Coach Zed" resembles Spike, Snoopy's brother from ComicStrips/{{Peanuts}}.
** Strong Bad shouts "Parsley! Sage! Rosemary! and THYME!" while pummeling Homestar, a nod to the old folk song "Scarborough Fair".
*StupidSexyFlanders: Strong Bad pulls this on himself when Homestar falls in love with him during the first do-over.
*StylisticSuck: Strong Bad's attempt at seranading Ali and Ali Jr. is a feedback-laden mess.
-->'''Strong Bad:''' Don't you know I have a big ol' red head! And a fat little body! And I never change my clooothes! (''high-pitched'') No, I never change my clooothes!
*UnusualEuphemism: "Stnank" for "mistake".
