Airdate: Tuesday, April 20, 2004
Sender: Kyle in West Point, NY (Military Base)
Strong Bad: The views expressed in the following email show do not necessarily reflect the opinions of anybody cool. Oh, except me. I'm cool.
Kyle from West Point wants to know "Do you Have a car If you do what Kind of car is it." Strong Bad is tired of getting "two jillion of these emails every two jillion seconds... Er. Wait. Would that be so bad?", and is about to give Kyle the traditional response to bad e-mails.
Strong Bad: Anydangway, to properly make an example out of both you, and your email's butts, I'm going to whip out an old classic move of mine, and hit you with a little uhhhh digga digga digga digga digga digga DELE-
Homestar Runner: Hup-tup-tup-tup-tup! Allow me to save this email from a tired old Strong Bad joke by showing all y'alls my new tricked out propeller cap.
Strong Bad: What are you doing?!
Homestar Runner: Um, did you just say "doing"? (pronounced to rhyme with "boing")
Strong Bad: What? No. Doo-ing. I said, "What are you doo-ing?".
Homestar Runner: Oh. Well, you spelled it the same.
Strong Bad: Whaa?
Homestar Runner: Hup-tup-tup-tup-tup! Allow me to save this email from a tired old Strong Bad joke by showing all y'alls my new tricked out propeller cap.
Strong Bad: What are you doing?!
Homestar Runner: Um, did you just say "doing"? (pronounced to rhyme with "boing")
Strong Bad: What? No. Doo-ing. I said, "What are you doo-ing?".
Homestar Runner: Oh. Well, you spelled it the same.
Strong Bad: Whaa?
Homestar continues with his "cool words that I have to say" by showing off how he's tricked-out his trademark propeller cap. It includes hydraulics, "sweetish ground effects", and the propeller itself (or "buzzer", as Homestar has taken to calling it) plays "the theme from Night Court starring Richard Moll"... or rather, Homestar sings it.
Meanwhile, Strong Bad is "tricking out [his] fist" with a decal that says "DELETED" backwards... so it leaves a perfect imprint on Homestar's face when Strong Bad punches his lights out.
Homestar: Ooohh-oooh. Thank you once again for my pies. I spent particular effort on the Crème Bernard...
Strong Bad: Well, that straightens everything out, right? As for you, Kyle, I don't have a car. You ever see me in a car? No! Bye. (gets up and leaves, then comes back) Talk to my man in the green and white stripes! (leaves for real, The Paper comes down)
Strong Bad: Well, that straightens everything out, right? As for you, Kyle, I don't have a car. You ever see me in a car? No! Bye. (gets up and leaves, then comes back) Talk to my man in the green and white stripes! (leaves for real, The Paper comes down)
Tropes:
- Angry Fist-Shake: Strong Bad does this to Homestar when he interrupts Strong Bad's attempt to delete Kyle's e-mail.
- Blatant Lies: Homestar claims that his "buzzer" plays the theme song from Night Court, when it's obviously just Homestar singing.
- Brick Joke: Near the beginning of the e-mail, Strong Bad jokes that "Popular Science" should be called "Nerdular Nerdence". In an Easter egg at the end, Strong Sad is reading a magazine called "Nerdular Nerdence".
- Continuity Nod: Strong Bad attempts to give Kyle the old "digga-digga-DELETED!", like in "unused emails".
- Derailed for Details: Strong Bad goes off on a tangent about how many emails it would be if he actually got "two jillion emails every two jillion seconds".Strong Bad: Like I don't get two jillion of these emails every two jillion seconds. Er. Wait. Would that be so bad? Hmmm. I'll have to ask Gron Sad about that later on. Maybe write in to 'Popular Science' about it. Popular Science... No such thing, man. More like, "Nerdular Nerdence".
- Eleventy Zillion: Strong Sad has to remind Strong Bad that "a jillion is not a real unit of measure".
- Insane Troll Logic: How does Homestar get "doing" and "doo-ing" mixed up? "You spelled it the same."
- Malicious Misnaming: Strong Bad takes to calling Strong Sad "Gron Sad".
- Non Sequitur, *Thud*: Homestar lies on the ground in a daze, babbling about pies and "pie people", after getting punched by Strong Bad's "tricked-out fist".
- Pimped-Out Car: Kyle wants to know if Strong Bad's car is "pimped out". Before Strong Bad can delete the email, Homestar interrupts him to show off his new "tricked-out" hat.
- Psmith Psyndrome: Homestar briefly becomes convinced Strong Bad said "doing" and not "doo-ing".
- Shout-Out: Homestar sings the theme from Night Court when Strong Bad spins the propeller on his hat, though he claims that it's his propeller that's actually playing it.
- Take That!: Strong Bad makes fun of of the magazine "Popular Science", saying "there's no such thing" and that it should be called "Nerdular Nerdence" instead.
- Wingding Eyes: Homestar has dazed X-eyes after getting decked by Strong Bad.
Strong Bad: Hey! Gron Sad!
Strong Sad: (looks up from his copy of "Nerdular Nerdance") Why do you keep calling me that?
Strong Bad: I dunno... change of pace. Anyways, how many emails would it be if you got, like, two jillion emails every two jillion seconds? Like, a lot, or a little?
Strong Sad: "Jillion" is not a real unit of measure!
Strong Bad: Whatever, NERD! (angrily leaves, muttering to himself)
Strong Sad: 'S'right! Say it again!
Homestar: It's such a lovely gathering of pies and pie people... Like to give a shout-out to Lemon Pretend over there...
