STRONG BAD: Gather 'round, everybody! {mimics his old accent} It's email time! {starts reading email}
>Hey Strong Bad,
>I have a friend who is trying hard to be an
>independent filmmaker. The problem is, his films
>suck. How do I tell him he's wasting his life?
>
>Signed,
>FAF FAN #23
STRONG BAD: {typing} I got good news for you, #23. You're not alone. We've all got no-talent friends who refuse to quit chasing their dreams. That's why I've come up with my own line of greeting cards for just such occasions.
{Cut to a greeting card with a picture of flowers on the front}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} I've got ones for independent filmmakers.
VOICE ONE: {reading the card} On this special day, I thought I'd let you know how terrible your films are.
{Cut to a second card with a cartoon drawing of a boy's head, with a thermometer in his mouth and a cold pack on his head}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} People in terrible bands.
VOICE TWO: {reading the card} I'm sick! Of wasting my Fridays seeing your crappy band.
{Cut to a third card with a picture of a sunset and a palm tree}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Web cartoonists.
VOICE THREE: {reading the card} Thinking of you...and how terrible your stupid Star Wars spoofs are.
{Cut to a fourth card with a cartoon drawing of a bear behind the mic at a comedy club, signed L.S. '02}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} And burgeoning stand-up comedians.
VOICE FOUR: {reading the card and laughing} Hey friend! Your stand up comedy is unBEARable!!
{Cut back to the Tandy 400}
STRONG BAD: I mean, {typing} its not like these people don't know they suck, sometimes they just need a cute friendly reminder. Who knows? This could be the final straw that makes them give up and get some terrible office job instead. Or at the very least go to grad school. You know, like for an MBA. Or maybe try out for the NBA. I dunno. See ya later, 23.
{The Paper comes down}
Fun Facts
Explanations
- At an appearance at the University of Central Florida in early 2004, both this email and E-mail Birds were shown. They were created to be shown at an independent film festival in 2002, hence the usage of the Tandy and the fact that the email is about independent films. The independent film festival was organized by The Future Animators of the Future and was shown in Boston and New York City.
- The line "Thinking of you...and how terrible your stupid Star Wars spoofs are." refers to the fact that, when The Brothers Chaps started homestarrunner.com, spoofing Star Wars was a common subject for Flash animations or other online fan projects, as they have mentioned in several interviews.
Trivia
- The voice reading the first card sounds very similar to the voice of Cinder Block from "2 years".
- When Strong Bad speaks, the hum in the background is audible, implying that this was recorded before the Brothers Chaps got a better microphone and thus is an authentic old email.
Goofs
- Strong Bad does not put a comma between "cute" and "friendly".
- Strong Bad omits the apostrophe in "it's", which is ironic, seeing as he later criticized the sender of local news for making a similar error.
Inside References
- The drawing of the bear on the fourth card is apparently done by Lem Sportsinterviews.
- The music is from the email CGNU.
