Recap / Strong Bad Email E 76 Sibbie

Go To

Airdate: Monday, June 9, 2003

Sender: Sibbie

Strong Bad: (rapidly chanting) Email! Email! Email! Email!

Strong Bad is impressed that a sender asking about "fhqwhgads" managed to spell it right, but not so impressed that "Sibbie" wants a song about themselves.

Strong Bad: You people and your demands! Look, I'm not here to fulfill your every freakin' whim, alright? "Make a song about me!" "Send Trogdor over to my house!" "Put on a purple thing and dance around!" Well, I've had it!

Strong Bad announces that he will never, ever, ever, ever, ever write a song about Sibbie... to a beat provided by the Cheat ("look who thinks he's Clever Dan!"), whom he hastily shoos away. Strong Bad decides to watch some TV, since he can't finish the e-mail when "my focus is all... Krokused". But then he hears Strong Sad listening to a song on his iPod:

Strong Sad: ...never, ever, ever, ever, ever write a song about Sibbie.
Strong Bad: Hey! Shut up! Where'd you hear that?!
Strong Sad: Geez, I don't know. Some song I just downloaded off the Internet.

Strong Bad heads to the Field, where he finds Homestar listening to "Song About Sibbie" on the radio, where it's already made the number 4 spot on the list. As Strong Bad yells "I freakin' hate Sibbie!", a song by that title starts playing on the radio, which leads Strong Bad to suplex it into oblivion, screaming the whole time.

Strong Bad: (breathing heavily, one of his eyes twitching)
Homestar: Thanks, man! I'd just about had it with that talking toaster.
(The Paper comes down)

Tropes

  • Brick Joke: Strong Mad saying "DOUGLAS!" in an easter egg.
  • Continuity Nod:
    • Sibbie wants to know why Strong Bad wrote a song about fhqwhgads.
    • An Easter egg shows Homestar practicing saying "fhqwhgads", when Strong Mad barges in and shouts "DOUGLAS!".
  • Embarrassing Old Photo: Referenced, when Strong Bad watches an episode of a generic sitcom, and "It's the one where the guy's mom shows the guy's girlfriend the pictures of the guy when he was a baby."
  • Noodle Incident: Strong Bad once dressed up as a bunch of grapes for a fan who asked him to "put on a purple thing and dance around".
  • Overly Long Scream: Strong Bad screams in frustration for five straight seconds as he wrestles Homestar's radio into pieces.
  • Spell My Name with a "The": Strong Bad insists he won't write a song about "the Sibbie" (Sibbie did not sign their e-mail as such).
  • Twitchy Eye: Strong Bad's eye twitches briefly after he beats up Homestar's radio.
  • Voice Clip Song: The Cheat manages to make a song out of Strong Bad saying he won't write a song about Sibbie. Then he somehow produces another one of Strong Bad saying "I freakin' hate Sibbie".
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Yeah, yeah, Strong Bad is always a "wrestleman", but this is one of the few times (if not the only time) he busts out actual pro wrestling grapples, a pile driver and a suplex.
  • You Say Tomato: In an Easter egg, Strong Bad tries to teach how to say "fhqwhgads" to Homestar ("Fooboomagoo!") and Coach Z ("Forhorglingrads!")

Strong Bad: "Fhqwhgads."
Homestar: Fubugrass!
Strong Bad: Say it with a flourish. "Fhqwhgads!"
Homestar: Fooboomagoo.
Strong Bad: It doesn't sound like it looks. "Fhqwhgads."
Coach Z: Forhorglingrads!
Strong Bad: Coach Z, I thought I asked you to leave, like, an hour ago.
Strong Mad: DOUGLAS!!
Strong Bad: Whoa! We've had a breakthrough! You get a gold star.
