'''''strongbad_email.exe''''' is the first [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] [[DVD]] series, primarily collecting [[Strong Bad Emails]].

The first three discs, comprising the first 100 emails, were sold as a 3-disc box set; Discs 4, 5, and 6 were released in later years and sold individually. The original box set was first sold on the [[Flash Store]], with the later discs releasing to the [[Yahoo Store]]. When the store [[Store|moved to Shopify]], only Disc 5 was available until its discontinuation in mid-2017; strongbad_email.exe DVDs were unavailable for purchase until 2020, when they were re-released in a 6-disc compilation.

== <span class="mw-headline"> Easter Eggs </span> ==

* Most of the emails have three kinds of secrets:
** Audio commentary: Accessible by pressing the "Language" or "Audio" button. On the first three discs, many emails do not have commentary.
** Secret "angle": Accessible by pressing the "Angle" button. Usually used to display the short pop-ups that would appear when clicking on elements during the web version of emails.
** Secret menu options: Hidden menu options — a little icon that looks like Strong Bad's head — can be found by navigating in directions other than the visible options (for instance, pressing "down" when menu options are listed left-to-right), often pressing more than once. All Easter eggs are listed in the "DVD Version" sections of the [[Strong Bad Email]] articles.
* Each menu has a secret Easter egg that automatically plays after a short period of time.

=== <span class="mw-headline">Explanations</span> ===

* [[.exe]] is a file extension meaning "executable". An executable file contains code for a program and "executes" it in an operating system; .exe files are primarily used in [[Microsoft Windows]] or historically in [[DOS]] (e.g., "Peasants_Quest.exe" ran the [[Peasant's Quest]] program), but not on a Macintosh computer (which [[The Cheat]] uses). Specifically, "strongbad_email.exe" is what Strong Bad types on his computer to begin nearly every email, except for the following:
** All emails on the [[Tandy 400]], where Strong Bad types: run "strongbad's_email"
** [[the bird]], [[weird dream]], all emails on the [[Compe]], where Strong Bad does not type anything to open his email.
** [[anything]], where Homestar types: run "sb_enail.com"
** [[secret identity]], where Strong Bad types: strongbad_email[[Doom|.wad]]

<span id="trivia"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Trivia</span> ===

* The DVD menu animations feature the first use of 3DCG animation in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work.
* The initial DVD set was so popular that it sold out within a month of its initial release to the [[Flash Store|store]] before being restocked.
