History Recap / StrongBadEmailE186Environment

Fortunately for Strong Bad, it turns out Marzipan and Strong Sad's idea of being more environmentally friendly is to simply "take something I already do and word it differently so it sounds eco-friendly", as seen with Strong Sad's "sustainable UsefulNotes/{{MP3}} player", Marzipan's "organic ''Thelma and Louise'' DVD", and Strong Bad's "65-mile-per-gallon hybrid piano".

Lyd and Jules from "Idiot and Moron" write in to inform Strong Bad that he should be doing more to help the environment. Strong Bad boasts that he's done plenty to help the environment, like '''''not''''' drop a piano on Marzipan's head and watering her flowers with "recycled cigarette butts" instead of bleach.

'''Storng Sad and Marzipan:''' (''faintly chanting'') Scrappy the Lappy! We think it's really crappy! Scrappy the Lappy!

Turns out that Strong Sad and Marzipan are outside, protesting how environmentally unsound Strong Bad's old computer is. Aside from the staggeringly high power bill ("The bill itself uses eight trees' worth of paper"), hitting enter on the Lappy causes power shortages throughout the rest of Free Country USA (slightly spoiling Homestar's video game time), and using the battery (somehow) burns down 45 acres of rain forest.

'''Strong Bad:''' Boat-take...\\

Strong Bad's even found a new "green energy source" for the Lappy... in the form of The Cheat, painted green and running on a hamster wheel. "Only 17 more hours and I can press send!"

* LampshadeHanging: After the email ends, the sounds of The Cheat running on the hamster wheel will eventually fade out. If you stay on the page for a bit after the silence starts without clicking on any {{Easter Egg}}s, Strong Bad will point out oddity of the soundless wheel.
-->'''Strong Bad:''' Wow. That is one whisper-quiet hamster wheel.

-->'''Strong Bad:''' So there, there, ''there'' we go, maybe ladies. Strong Bad and the environment are now making out in the parent's basement of a solar-powered house. Take a look at the Lappy's new environmentally compliant sticker compliance sticker! And it's got a picture of a little leaf on it, so you know it's good for the environment!

* GreenAesop: Mercilessly parodied. Turns out [[TheAllegedComputer the Lappy]] is so out of date, it's a one-computer EPA violation.

* LongList: Strong Bad is seen typing a list of "Okay for Mom" euphemisms for the butt.

* SelfDeprecation: An Easter egg for "Idiot and Moron" has the states of Idaho and Montana dancing with goofy faces. Then the Brothers Chaps realized that MO actually stands for the state of Missouri, and updated the Easter egg to include a corrected version with the caption "Mike is a Moron!"
* ShockinglyExpensiveBill: Strong Bad's electric bill is $70,000. He's surprised to find out that this isn't normal.
