Cassette Tapes

The Kinda Long-Haired Band makes their debut!

While long outdated, cassette tapes are in surprisingly widespread use by most of the site's characters.

Appearances

• Strong Bad Sings — The album is available on twelve cassettes.
• Marzipan's Answering Machine episodes 1-8 used an answering machine where the tape is visible. This machine also appeared in the email personal favorites, in which it explodes, leaving the broken tape behind.
  • Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2 — The tape is not visible inside the answering machine, but the machine explodes in a similar manner as its predecessor did; the broken tape is again left behind.
• A Jorb Well Done — Strong Sad gives Coach Z a tape labeled "Job—285,194 times."
• Email theme party (Easter egg) — A cassette tape plays Circles by The Kinda Long-Haired Band.
• Email autobiography — Words I Probably Said is sold on cassettes. The case is shown to have a pirated copy of Shaq Fu: Da Return.
  • Email garage sale — Words I Probably Said is one of the items sold at the garage sale.
• Email flashback — At the end of the story, everyone dances to a remix of the original intro on The Cheat's extremely expensive jambox with high-speed dubbing.
• Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2 — Strong Bad pretends to be Bob Statesman who is running for Elected Official and says that donations can be money, cupcakes, and hard rock albums on cassette.
• Email time capsule — Strong Bad puts a tape of his "number one jam" in a time capsule; it later is eaten by Stinkoman, for whom it acts as a Power Crunch. Also, in an Easter egg, the tape is shown while the song "Grumblecakes" plays.
• Stinkoman 20X6 — 1-Up "borrows" Stinkoman's Power Crunch in Level 4, causing Stinkoman to protect 1-Up in the Lava Zone (to protect the Power Crunch).
