== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello, everybody! This week it's time for some spring cleaning. Ready? Go!

<blockquote>
>Dear Strong Bad, 
>Why do you hate Homestar so much? He seems 
>like a nice guy to me. 
>Caitlyn
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, what a good question! Let me think about how I should answer that...

<blockquote>
>DELETED!!
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' '''DELETED!''' Ah ha ha, that felt great. What's next?

<blockquote>
>Do you have a secret crush with marzipan? 
>steve 
>sterling, VA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces VA as "Vah"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, now this question is definitely worth my time and consideration—

<blockquote>
>DELETED!!
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' '''DELETED!''' Uh ho ho, this is getting good!

<blockquote>
>Dear Strong Bad, 
>How do you type with boxing gloves on? 
>Mike, 
>Bend Oregon
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces Oregon as "Ora-gawn"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's a new one. No way do I get this freaking question all the time. I suppose I'll probably answer it right now—

<blockquote>
>DELETED!!
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' '''DELETED!''' ''{laughing}'' Oh, who's next man?

<blockquote>
>Dear Strong Bad, 
> 
>Are you made of crap? Did you invent the word crap? 
>Where did the word crap come from? 
> 
>Crapfully crapfully, 
>Chad
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I'll totally answer this one because apparently the only thing I'm concerned with is the word crap—

<blockquote>
>DELETED!!
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' '''DELETED!!''' Oh, I'm on a roll!

<blockquote>
>Strong Bad, 
>Your last email was pathetic. I was disappointed. 
>Come on, you can do better than that! This is like 
>the highlight of my week. 
>Suprised at your lack of humor, 
>Sue
</blockquote>

''{Instead of saying "Sue", he says and types "DELETED!".}''

<blockquote>
>DELETED!!
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahhh! I feel so cleansed. So fresh and so clean, clean. Okay, so until next time, ain't nobody dope as me.

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

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===

* Sue, who notes that Strong Bad's last email was "pathetic", was likely referring to [[tape-leg]], which is sequentially the previous Strong Bad Email and has had its perceived lack of quality [[Tape-leg|alluded to]].

=== Trivia ===

* This is another instance where [[Strong Bad Email Statistics|Strong Bad checks multiple emails]] (the first time where they come from multiple fans).
* This is the first email where the screen flashes "[[DELETED]]!!" when Strong Bad deletes something.
* This is the first appearance of a "[[How do you type with boxing gloves on?]]" email, although Strong Bad implies that he gets this email all the time.
* This is the last email where The Paper reads simply, "Click here to e-mail strong bad".
* The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad cleans out his inbox with a little help from DELETED!"

=== Remarks ===

* The page title reads "Mandy 400!!" instead of "Tandy 400!!!" in this email.
* When Strong Bad laughs after deleting each email, the reflection of his face on the Tandy moves, but his actual head doesn't. However, ignoring the facial movements, the reflection of the head and the actual head are in fact synced.

=== Inside References ===

* Strong Bad's reaction to Chad's going overboard with the word "[[Crap|crap]]" is the first sign of his displeasure with [[Crapfully Yours]]-style signatures.

=== Real-World References ===

* The last few lines are from a song by [[Outkast]] called, "[[So Fresh, So Clean]]". The song's chorus goes ''Ain't nobody dope as me, I'm dressed so fresh so clean (so fresh and so clean, clean).''
