  • Genius Bonus: The third panel of "Gamerj0x" actually lists the technical specifications for the PlayStation 3.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: One of the fake web comics Strong Bad pulls up, "Gamerj0x", takes the piss out of Penny Arcade. Strong Bad would later be seen interacting with Penny Arcade's Tycho in Poker Night at the Inventory, where he makes it clear that his disdain extends toward the real deal.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: The email dates itself to when independently-hosted webcomics were huge, everyone was getting into them, and the medium was flooded with amateurs and imitators. These days, the standard of quality is higher and there aren't many independently-hosted webcomics left outside of the Webcomics Long-Runners, leaving social media and hosting sites like Webtoon to fill the gap. In particular, sprite comics are nowhere near as popular as they were when this email was made, thanks specifically to the reputation of laziness and oversaturation Strong Bad talks about.
