'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing, types "run Strongbad's__email"}'' Checkin' my email, checkin' my email, checkin'-checkin'-checkin'-checkin' my email.

<blockquote>Dear Mr Bad,<br />
How do you know if someone's butt is stupid?<br />
I mean, is there like some kind of IQ test?<br />
Crapfully yours,<br />
Tyler</blockquote>
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, come on Tyler! Don't you remember your algebra, man? It's called the ''{typing}'' Transitive Butt Property. ''{stops typing}'' And it clearly states that the stupidity of somebody's butt is greater than or equal to the stupidity of that person's head.

''{He types "stupid (butt) ≥ stupid (head)," then clears the screen to bring up Bad Graphics Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, take our friend Homestar Runner for instance. ''{laughing}'' Look at his stupid head! ''{labels Homestar's head "stupid (head)"}'' Look at how stupid his head is. ''{stops laughing}'' Okay, so you can easily infer from this that because he has such a stupid head, that ''easily'' his butt is going to be at least as stupid ''{labels Homestar's butt as "stupid (butt)"}'' if not stupider. ''{relabels butt as "stupid/stupider (butt)"}'' So there you have it. Okay, so until next time, on a scale from one to awesome, I'm super great.

* This is the first Strong Bad Email to have capital letters in the title.
* This is the first Strong Bad Email to mention Homestar.
* This is the first instance of Strong Bad receiving an email signed "[[Crapfully Yours]]".
* The paper at the end is shorter in length than in the first two Strong Bad Emails (likely to prevent covering up the image of [[Homestar Runner]]).
* This is the first email to show something on Strong Bad's computer other than text.
* This email marks the first appearance of Strong Bad's [[Bogus Mathematical Theorems|bogus mathematical theorems]].

<span id="remarks"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Remarks</span> ===

* Normally, [[Transitive relation|transitivity principles]] are used to infer a relation between two variables based on their relations to a third variable. For example, transitivity of "is greater than or equal to" implies that if [https://web.archive.org/web/20250101000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/math/e/d/f/edf54efd8e6c13aa1b6cae8c741185a8.png] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20250101000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/math/3/8/d/38d2ab56015b08a6a6980c7d9e1ffeb2.png], then [https://web.archive.org/web/20250101000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/math/c/2/4/c2470e50cbd099627ed7f74f90b9f701.png].

* For a split second when Strong Bad's text is cleared and [[Retro Gaming Character Variations|Bad Graphics Homestar Runner]] appears, the text appears outside of the computer screen.

* The email appears to have been inspired by the song [[You've got an Ugly & Stupid BUTT|"You've got an Ugly & Stupid Butt"]] from [[Strong Bad Sings]] (which later made its way to the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]]).
