'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing slowly}'' Robot jokes, robot jokes, there are no robot jokes in this email. ''{begins reading}''

<blockquote>
>subject: accent
>Dear Strong Bad, 
>What happened to that Mexican accent you used to have? 
>It made you sound very exotic and hot! 
>Yours truly, 
>Joy, Mesa AZ
</blockquote>

''{Drags out "very exotic and hot" sultrily and pronounces "Mesa" as "Mee-sa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh yeah? Well, mesa ''{pronounces it "mee-sa"}'' thinks you need to stop-a talking like that right now ''{short pause}'' -a.

''{Clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' What do you mean what happened to my accent? I've still got it and it's still awesome. I mean, isn't it? Let's do some research. Here's my accent a few years ago.

''{Cut to a scene from [[some kinda robot]]}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing on the [[Tandy 400]] and speaking in his accent of the time}'' Do you take off your face and hands before you go to bed?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And here's my accent a few seconds ago.

''{Cut to a few seconds ago. The camera angle has changed so that the scene now appears crooked.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Here's my accent a few years ago.

''{Cut back to the current scene of Strong Bad at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. Um, maybe it has changed a little bit. But that's only cause I've gotten more worldly and streetwise, right? It's still what makes me so devilishly charming.

''{Cut to a wide shot of Strong Bad at the Lappy, now showing Strong Sad with reading glasses and a clipboard standing on Strong Bad's right. An old-fashioned film projector is sitting on the table between the two characters.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't know, Strong Bad.

''{Zoom in on Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' According to ''{pats his belly; the familiar dodgeball sound is heard}'' my projections, ''{holds up the clipboard}'' at the rate your accent is changing now, ''{Cut back to Strong Bad and Strong Sad}'' in five years, you'll sound like this.

''{Strong Sad turns the [[Projections|projector]] on. The light shines toward the camera, revealing an image of Strong Bad sitting in front of a light blue, translucent screen with circuitry imprints. The screen is hovering over his desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing and speaking in a duller and less gravelly version of his normal voice}'' Oh, hey all of you guys. I'm a Strong Bad. Holy crap, I am so great!

''{Fade back to Strong Bad and Strong Sad with the projector and the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Waaah! ''{jumps in his chair and grabs his chest while breathing hard.}'' All my gruff charms and gravelly demeanors! Gone! ''{turns to Strong Sad}'' I gotta save my weird accent! ''{in a calmer voice}'' Wait, I'm gonna have a floating computer in five years?

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Don't worry. I've called in a specialist.

''{Coach Z appears from the lower right corner of the screen.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey there, Spring Board! I'm here to help yous with your orccent!

''{Cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, boy. This is gonna be good.

''{Cut to a rear shot of Strong Bad sitting in The Classroom. Coach Z is up front standing next to the blackboard, which reads "INtRO tO WEIRD tALKiN'".}''

'''COACH Z:''' First, we've gotta figure out what makes your accent unique, and then exorggerate the BEHOOZITS out of it!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My accent has behoozits?

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad in The Field hanging upside down.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{offscreen}'' Okay, go.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Competition.

'''STRONG MAD:''' RWAAA!

''{Strong Mad's fist comes flying in from the right and punches Strong Bad in the head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow!

''{Cut to a wide shot, which reveals Strong Bad hanging upside down from a tree. Strong Mad is standing on the left, ready to punch him again. Coach Z is on the right.}''

'''COACH Z:''' You'd better try it again, or I'ma have him start working the kidneys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{desperately, in his old Mexican accent}'' Competition! Competition!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Coach Z standing in The Gymnasium. The scoreboard behind them reads 0 for Home and 3 for Visitor.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Okay. Let's say the Homestar Runner just t'rew up all over your latest caper. So you give him one of these!

''{Coach Z pulls out a poster of an ear of corn with a [[Angels|halo]] over it. Zoom in on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Religious corn?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Naw, it's a holy crop!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in his old Mexican accent}'' Holy crop!

''{The scoreboard buzzes, and the Home score changes to 1.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah, no, yeah!

''{Cut to The Garage, where we see a crumpled up piece of sandpaper tossed onto a growing pile of crumpled sandpaper. Cut to a wide shot that shows Strong Bad and Coach Z standing in the middle of the room. Strong Bad is rubbing a piece of sandpaper on his neck.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pained}'' Coach Z, are you sure rubbing sandpaper on my throat is really necessary?

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, abso-prootley. 'Course, you won't be able to eat salid foods for a few months, but at least no one will bug yous about your accernt.

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad's neck as he takes the sandpaper away. His neck is throbbing red.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A-good!

''{Cut to show Strong Bad dancing in a boxer's ready position in the Computer Room, punching the air. A white towel is draped over the sides of his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Haselos, theselos, competition! ''{grunting}'' Morones ''{"morons" with Strong Bad's old, affected Mexican accent}'', morones, morones!

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah, you've come a long way, Strong Bo. Your accent's as fit as a wagon fulla florpjacks. Now get in there and end this sbemail!

''{Strong Bad grunts loudly and leaps onto the stool in front of the Lappy as the towel falls off his head and onto the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, speaking in a poor version of his old Mexican accent}'' Okay, all joo ediots! I don't wanna hear anudda freakin' word about my accent. Joo ga daaaat? So until next time, Holy crop!

''{The screen dims.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Next week on Strong Bad Email...

''{Cut to another shot of Strong Bad sitting in front of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, now speaking in his normal voice}'' Something something Larry Larry. Holy crap.

'''STRONG MAD:''' RWAAA!

''{Strong Mad's fist comes flying in from the left and punches Strong Bad in the head. Strong Bad falls off the stool and onto the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' AAAH! ''{Weakly, in his old accent}'' Competition...?

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===

* Strong Bad's computer from "five years in the future", which would have been around 2012, is the "[[Zappy XT6]]".
* This email was shown at [[The Brothers Chaps]]' [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007|April 26 visit to Georgia Tech]] before Disc 5 of the DVD was released.
* This is the first bonus email since [[E-mail Birds]] to not have any Easter eggs.
* The cover page on Strong Sad's clipboard reads:

<blockquote>
>Subject: 
>Strong Bad 
> 
>Description: 
>Vocal irregularity 
>caused by pos ''{covered by Strong Sad's hand}'' 
>hubrisinal d ''{covered}'' 
> 
>Overview: 
>Dude’s gone ''{covered}'' 
</blockquote>

=== Inside References ===

* Strong Bad saying "[[Competition|competition]]" in his old accent hearkens back to the line "With Marzipan's radish, we're gonna win the competition!" from [[The Reddest Radish]], or the line "Now go, and win us this competition!" from [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], both of which are early toons that heavily feature Strong Bad's accent.
* The music that plays while Coach Z is teaching Strong Bad to use his accent more is the same as in the scene from [[A Jorb Well Done]] where the others try to teach Coach Z to pronounce "job" properly.
* The [[Generic Announcers|narrator]] who skips ahead to the next week was first heard in [[fingers]] in a similar role, and also in [[cliffhangers]].
* The fit "wagon fulla florpjacks" refers to the training the [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]] did in [[montage]].
* "Behoozits" is reminiscent of Strong Bad's pronunciation of "BHZ" in a [[The Brothers Chaps' Fansite Acknowledgments|message]] that the Brothers Chaps sent to the Homestar Runner forum Burning Horizons.

=== Real-World References ===

* Strong Bad's "mesa" joke is a reference to the distinctive speech patterns of [[Jar Jar Binks]], a character from the ''[[Star Wars]]'' franchise.
* When Coach Z employs Strong Mad hitting Strong Bad to try to get him to return to his accent, he's using a form of [[Classical conditioning|classical conditioning]].

=== Fast Forward ===

* Strong Sad's predictions about Strong Bad's accent and the Zappy XT6 did not come true. Although the site was on [[Hiatuses|hiatus]] five years later, future toons did not follow the predictions.
** [[April Fool 2014]], the first toon released after that timeframe, showed Strong Bad still has his accent (perhaps not coincidentally, his earlier Mexican accent is referenced in that toon).
** [[sbemail 206]], the first Strong Bad Email released after that timeframe, featured the [[Compé]] being remodeled into the [[Lappier]], rather than an appearance by the Zappy.
