Airdate: Monday, March 3, 2003
Sender: Dan Chase, Aurora, Illinois
Strong Bad: Oooh! Check it out! Another one of those...sbemails!
Dan from "Illi-nwah" asks Strong Bad, seemingly knowing how popular as he is, what he does with the numerous emails he gets that he chooses not to answer.
Strong Bad: Wha-hoah, Dan. You mean what do I do with the thousands and thousands of near-unreadable emails I get every day?! I like to mix it up!
The potential fates for Strong Bad Emails that don't make the cut (some of which are readable, as Easter eggs) include:
- Being given to the Cheat for "filing and archiving", which seems to involving arbitrarily sorting them into different-sized piles.
- Having the email addresses sold to Bubs "for use in his free weekly spamvertisements"
- Getting used for origami by Strong Mad
Most of the e-mails, however, simply get "A-digga a-diggity DIGGITY DIGGITY DIGGITY DIGGITY A-DELETEEEEED!", as demonstrated when Strong Bad backs up for a table-crushing flying leap onto the Compy to delete Dan's e-mail.
Tropes:
- Lost Property Live Drop: Strong Bad and Bubs' exchange for the emails involves them "accidentally" dropping their packages.Strong Bad: (drops a compact disc) Oops! Lookit that! I dropped a CD of five-thousand email addresses!
Bubs: (drops a sack of money) Whoops! I dropped a quarter for each one! - Mundane Made Awesome: Strong Bad's epic deletion of Dan's email, which involves doing a flying body slam onto the computer table.
- Overly Long Gag: Strong Bad backing up for his flying deletion, going "a-digga" for each hop back.
- Ow, My Body Part!: After doing a flying drop onto his email table, Strong Bad moans "I think I broke my clavicus... majorus."
- Pretentious Pronunciation: Strong Bad pronounces "Illinois" with a thick French accent.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: "Deleting" the e-mail by landing on the table hard enough to break it in half, while initially spectacular, hurts and may have broken something.
- Terrible Artist: Strong Mad's attempts at origami are just virtually-identical crumpled balls.Strong Mad: THIS IS A LOTUS FLOWER! THIS IS A PRAYING MANTIS!
Compy 386: DELETED!
Strong Bad: Ohhhh... I think I broke my clavicus... majorus.
