''Yer job sucks.''


<blockquote>
'''PANEL ONE:'''
>Strong Bad,<br />
''{Dullard is typing on his computer.}''
>How do I deal with the office dullard?<br />
>Jason
</blockquote>


'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm glad you came to me, Jason. The office dullard is a clever foe. But there are ways you can beat him. Here are a few of my tried and true methods.
'''PANEL TWO:'''
'''COMPUTER:''' BAD COMMAND OR FILENAME!


''{The words "Method 1" appear on the screen, as per following methods}''
'''PANEL THREE:'''
''{An irritated Dullard continues typing on his computer.}''


=== Method 1 ===
'''PANEL FOUR:'''
'''TAKE-OUT GUY:''' TAKE OUT GUY!
'''DULLARD:''' MONEY'S ON THE FAX MACHINE.


''{Strong Bad is sitting and typing in an office. Homestar Runner comes and stands behind him.}''
'''PANEL FIVE:'''
'''COMPUTER:''' SUPER SYSTEM CRASH!


'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey man, what's up? Good time, bad time...?
'''PANEL SIX:'''
''{Dullard bangs his head on his computer.}''
'''TAKE-OUT GUY:''' YER JOB SUCKS.
'''COMPUTER:''' TELL HIM ABOUT IT.


''{Strong Bad quickly reaches out and grabs his phone. He fumbles with it for a second and pretends to have been speaking into it.}''
==== DVD version, method #3 ====


'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Oh, oh! Yes, yes, yes... Uh, so no, I'm still here, yes. Working hard. I've been synergizing all morning... ''{He covers the phone with his glove, turns his head toward Homestar, and whispers}'' I'm not going to be able to talk right now, man. ''{Homestar mouths "Ohhhh..." in his usual Homestarlike fashion, and walks away, leaving Strong Bad to resume his "phone call"}'' Right... Yes... Multi-tasking...

=== Method 2 ===
''You're a suck up.''

'''PANEL ONE:'''
''{The boss is pointing to a picture of a pie chart labeled "MARKET SHARE?".}''
'''BALD MAN:''' AND THAT'S WHY EVERYTHING IS AWESOME.


'''STRONG BAD:''' Psssh! ''{Strong Bad gives Homestar the "Single Deuce," complete with sound effect. Homestar looks surprised, only for a moment.}''
'''PANEL TWO:'''
'''DULLARD:''' I HATE OUR BOSS. HE CAN BOSS-OFF I SAY!

They were kickin' people off left and right, and, like, some people got kicked on, and um, I mean, it was... you shoulda watched it. You definitely shoulda watched it. ''{enunciates each syllable for emphasis}'' Should-a watched it. I mean, they'll be talkin' about this one for a while. I mean, ''I'm'' going ta be talkin' about this one for a while... ''{Strong Bad leaves his seat and walks away. Homestar Runner turns his head toward Strong Bad's direction.}'' Oh, cool, I guess you're going to go watch it now...oh, all right, man...later... ''{pauses}'' Cool...
'''PANEL FIVE:'''

* The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad gives advice on how to deal with the office dullard."
''You may be on to something.''


=== Remarks ===
'''PANEL ONE:'''
''{Dullard is at his computer, with the boss behind him}''
'''BALD MAN:''' I WANT YOU TO MEET OUR NEW I.T. PROFESSIONAL.


* This is the first time Strong Bad is seen typing with boxing gloves on.
'''PANEL TWO:'''
* After Strong Bad returns his right hand to the keyboard from the [[Double Deuce|Single Deuce]], it remains motionless while his left hand continues "typing".
'''BALD MAN:''' ''{pointing to a horse-headed person behind him}'' THIS IS RANDY. TREAT HIM NICE NOW.
* When Strong Bad gets out of his chair it makes [[The Geddup Noise]], even though the chair has wheels.
* Homestar's size is not consistent throughout the toon. He's largest in method 1, smallest in method 2, and an intermediate size in methods 3 and 4.


=== Goofs ===
'''PANEL THREE:'''
'''DULLARD:''' I'M A THOUSAND PERCENT SURE THAT'S A HORSE.


* Strong Bad incorrectly types "every day" as "everyday" at the very end of the email.
'''PANEL FOUR:'''

=== Glitches ===
'''PANEL FIVE:'''
''{Randy chews the hay}''

'''PANEL SIX:'''
** This also happens whenever Homestar squints.
'''BALD MAN:''' ''{turns back to Dullard}'' YOU MAY BE ON TO SOMETHING.


=== Inside References ===

This article is about the comic strip. For the Strong Bad Email, see dullard.

Dullard is a comic strip by Levert Burtmore. It first appeared as an Easter egg in the Strong Bad Email of the same name, before going on to appear in several other toons (including three strips found only in the DVD version of the email), usually in relation to the office. It is a parody of the Dilbert comic strip by Scott Adams.
