This page is about the email where Strong Bad is asked what he would do if a little animal came up to him. For the email where Strong Bad makes up an animal, see animal.
Airdate: Monday, April 15, 2002
Sender: Ashley and Anthony
Strong Bad: (feigning surprise) Oh! What's this? An email? For me?!
Two viewers ask Strong Bad what he would do if a little animal came up to him. With the help of The Cheat, Strong Bad demonstrates "If a little animal came up to me, I'd kick it."
Unfortunately, Strong Mad is not happy about Strong Bad abusing his little buddy The Cheat. He's even less happy when Strong Bad, after awkwardly trying to justify kicking The Cheat, kicks his big brother in the shins and runs away. A seemingly never-ending chase around the room ensues.
Tropes:
- Art Shift: An Easter egg features Old-Timey versions of Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat.
- Bullying a Dragon: When threatened by Strong Mad, Strong Bad shouts "Imma kick you, too!" and kicks him in the shins. This proves to be a bad idea.
- "Just Joking" Justification: Strong Bad tries to pass off kicking The Cheat as "a little joke" for "the people watching at home".
- Oh, Crap!: Strong Bad, when Strong Mad approaches him at the Tandy.
- Punched Across the Room: Strong Bad sends The Cheat flying with a well-placed kick.
- Recycled Soundtrack: The music that plays during the chase scene is the same as the music playing over the search montage in "Where's The Cheat?".
- Telegraph Gag STOP: In the DVD version of the email, the Easter egg with the Old-Timey versions of the characters features some extra dialogue.1936 Strong Bad: Dear feets STOP Don't fail me now! STOP Signed, Strong Bad
- Wraparound Background: The never-ending chase that ends the e-mail features a wrap-around of Strong Bad's email room, with Strong Mad and Strong Bad passing by The Cheat and the Tandy several times.
Strong Bad: (to Strong Mad) I'ma kick you, too!! (kicks him and runs off)
Strong Mad: RAAAH! (chases Strong Bad around the room endlessly)
(The Paper comes down)
