Revision as of 01:53, 14 July 2026
Nearly every computer that Strong Bad has owned has malfunctioned at some point, and they have done so in some famously tragic ways, most often with a Flagrant System Error or by exploding (the latter ending the computer's run to be replaced by a newer, better, but still obsolete version).
The System Error screen appears whenever Strong Bad's computer crashes. It is a direct reference to the blue screen of death that appears on Windows computers.
Some of Strong Bad's computers are also known to explode, whether spontaneously or by outside forces. Probably the most famous of these explosions was the first explosion of the Tandy 400, which was later fixed (though it still had some malfunctions afterward).
WAAGH! That is not a small number! That is a BIG number!
Strong Bad's computers often have various malfunctions, sometimes involving explosions or viruses.
Appearances
Email sisters — The Tandy spontaneously deletes Strong Bad's email, then saves another email when Strong Bad tries to delete it.
Email virus — The Compy refuses to delete the virus email, reports more than 400,000 viruses, then blue-screens before the contents of the screen pour onto the carpet.
The Paper
Following 172 emails of service, The Paper and its printer fell from an unknown location above Strong Bad, breaking it as predicted in the email montage. After a few moments of reminiscing, Strong Bad burned the paper, in accordance with its last wishes. It was almost immediately replaced by an inkjet printer and the New Paper. The Paper came back in email thunder to beat up the New Paper, but since it got burned, its current fate is unknown. In hremail 3184, the Lappy's explosion destroyed one of the Papers, but it's unknown for sure which one.
Mirror of Homestar Runner Wiki.
This site is an independent mirror / archive of content originally published on
Homestar Runner Wiki (hrwiki.org). Because a wiki is a living document, some pages
here may differ from the source: material may have been edited after the snapshot
used for this mirror, and migration or conversion may have introduced changes.
