Trivia / Strong Bad Email

• Acting for Two: In Limozeen's original appearance in a still photo in "monster truck", the Brothers Chaps' brother Donnie plays all four band members, and an Easter egg in "flashback" has Matt play all of them.
• Corpsing:
  • In The Show you can hear Matt trying not to laugh while Homestar is listing random things, particularly when he says "sparkling".
  • Matt, as Homestar, also snickers a little while delivering the line "All the sudden, [Pom Pom] stawted gwowlin' and poopin' all over the pwace" in Sbemail #145 ("Myths and Legends"). The animation embraces the laughter, since it fits pretty well in-character.
• Defictionalization: The four "games that may be released in a possible future" in "video games" were redone into Thy Dungeonman, Secret Collect, Rhino Feeder, and Strong Bad Zone.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: One SBEmail, dedicated to talking about the worst aspects of improv theater, was made specifically for the "Dad's Garage" improv theater in Atlanta, Georgia. This email was only shown publicly twice in July 2014 and June 2015. The only way to watch it afterwards is through handheld camera recording during the final showing. ^note  Notable in that, despite being made in the Compé era, it uses the Lappy 486 instead, making this the final email it appears in.
• Milestone Celebration: For every 50 emails, plus the 125th email.
  • In #50, "50 emails", Strong Bad attempts to answer 50 emails in one sitting, but he gets side-tracked by a phone call. Then Homestar tries to take over, but causes the Compy to undergo a "flagrant system error".
  • In #100, "flashback", Strong Bad relates to the viewers (and Homestar Runner, who happens to be Behind the Black) the story of how he first met Homestar, in "WIDESCREEN!" no less.
  • In #125, "rock opera", Strong Bad composes a rock opera with Word Salad Lyrics cribbed from his first 125 SBEmails.
  • In #150, "alternate universe", Strong Bad rigs up an alternate universe portal and visits his many alternate selves, including Strong Badman, Old-Timey Strong Bad, and Tiny-Handed Strong Bad from The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest.
  • In #200, "email thunder", Strong Bad is all set up to answer his 200th Strong Bad Email, only for the latest e-mail to be addressed to Homestar, who has somehow had his own email show for years.
• Schedule Slip: Originally a weekly feature, the site went without new emails for weeks and later months as the 2000s progressed. The Chaps acknowledged this in mid-2003 by changing "updated mondays" to "updated somedays" on the menu.
• Teasing Creator: The Chaps have acknowledged a lot of fan questions that will never be answered. For example, the episode "long pants" leaves it vague whether Homestar wears pants or not.
• Technology Marches On: While this is averted in most aspects due to Strong Bad using computers that were old even at the time (his newest computer has 16-bit graphics at best), starting with "too cool", responses are now pulled from Strong Bad's official Twitter account rather than his email address, reflecting the rise of social media as the internet's primary form of communication in the 2010s.
• Throw It In!: The Brothers Chaps didn't realize they skipped over 22 when numbering the emails until after "little animal" was released. They then decided to present "sb_email 22" as a lost episode which was posted in between Strong Bad's last postcard from "vacation" and "invisibility".
