Recap / Strong Bad Email E 9 I Love You

Go To

Airdate: Monday, January 14, 2002

Sender: fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf

Strong Bad: I've carefully set aside this time for checking my email.

Strong Bad receives a message that simply reads "i love you" from "fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf".

Strong Bad: Look, fhqwgadshg... can i just call you fhqwhgads? Look fhqwhgads, I'm sorry to say, but the feeling's not mutual. Mainly because of your long freakin' name.

Strong Bad complains that in the time it took to say fhqwhgads' name, he could "paint a picture... of a guy... with a big knife"... and decides to go do that right now.

Strong Bad: (in the Field, painting a picture of a guy with a big knife) Oh yeah! This is looking great. I mean, I think I could probably sell this at like the arts and crafts fair, you know... to maybe some POWs, or, like, somebody's dad...

Tropes

  • Overly Long Name: "fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf" holds the dubious record of the longest string of consonants in the series - sixteen to be exact. Strong Bad managed to pronounce the whole thing, but quickly shortened it to "fhqwhgads" because in the time it took him to say that, he could have made a painting of a guy with a big knife.
  • Perfectly Cromulent Word: "fhqwhgads"!pronunciation 
  • The Unpronouncable: Subverted. Strong Bad is able to sound it out, then with practice use it as lyrics in "Everybody to the Limit!"

(The Paper comes down as Strong Bad continues painting)
