By far, the funniest e-mail in awhile. I liked Strong Bad's little "I'm Charming!" smile. Possibly one of the only times he can be classified as 'cute'.

Quote:
But you know what? I think Strong Bad is getting soft... I get the feeling we'll be seeing more of this side of him in the future.


I agree, esp. after he got almost teary at the end of crying.

Paging POSB to this email.... fanservice, yeah. I thought this was prooty nice, kinda reminded me of Zoolander. (ONE LOOK?!) Stupid Coincidence magazine and karate chopping the King were probably the best gags. But I thought the pacing was a bit awkward; the whole last half seemed like it was winding the email down, yet still going. I'ma give this one a B+.

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!

This has to be one of the most disturbing e-mails I've ever seen! Just the thought of Strong Bad saying "We're on a collison course with sultriness" and shaking his body makes me want to hide under a rock! But I must say it is very entertaining to watch.

Score = 79%

Coolest email in eons. How is this disturbing, the part about "I'll pencil you in?" In that scene, I actually instinctively and unconsciously leaned in towards the screen to hug him. Yeah. Freaked myself out there, Seriously, though. And tons of quotability! I mentioned Stupid Coincidence Weekly to my friend, who watches Homestar Runner, but not that often, and she's like, "Cool, is that a magazine?"

Very, very strange. I have no idea what is so great about this e-mail, it's so weird, and yet, I can't stop laughing when i watch it. It seems so stupid in retrospect, but it's actually completely hilarious. I want to watch it again!! Stupid coincidence magizine, and King of Town Karate Chop (KOTKC?) BRilliant!!

Say, where does one go to find those froody banners, anywhey?

SB being out of character was the whole point. I loved the book covers, although they should've been Easter Eggs instead of just tossed out there. And Strong Sad's appearance: "No, but poachers have offered several thousand dollars for my feet." Gold.

There was something a tad creepy about "I'll pencil you in", indeed.

Odd pacing, it felt more like a Tandy 400 email than most of the more recent ones that might as well be big toons.

I'd say it was equal to boring (really). That one got funnier upon reflection, whereas this one was at its funniest the first time around.

Colognac/10.

Did anyone else get a really big charge out of the look on Strong Bad's face for "The Dame with the Hard to Look At Teeth"? I thought that was priceless.

That's kinda just a regular Strong Bad expression, really. Not repulsed enough for me, really.

ACK! TWO REALLYS!

It was ok... but I didn't think it was one of the best ever or anything. I didn't laugh outloud.... but there was that sense of amusement.

Solid e-mail. I like how they got Pom-Pom into it a bit.

Am I the only one who though Strongsad sounds more like a dodgeball/kickball then a basketball?

I only laugh out loud around other people. But not, like, on purpose.

Yeah. Weird thing is, I know the look itself is nothing special, but it still cracks me up, I guess because of the context. *shrugs* It's one thing when you don't understand why someone else finds a joke funny, it's another entirely when you don't understand why you find it funny.

Oh well.

I wasn't a big fan of this one. It was cute... but not laugh out loud funny. I think seeing Strong Bad so smily was... distubing. My rating: Meh.

It was very good. They really got the spirt of modeling down, and the stupid coincidence magizine was brilliant.

"No, but poachers have offered several thousand for my feet."

It was a pretty good email. One of the Lappy's best, but it can't compare with do over or rampage. Still good, though. I loved Stupid Coincidence Magazine.

8/10

disterbingly funny, like episode 26 of Excel Saga (Going too far) although this SB email is nowhere NEAR as disterbing as THAT.

I'll give it 5 Strong Bads, and an Eh Steve

There aren't many funny parts to me in this email, but when there is one it is "lol" quality. My favorite quote yet is:

Strong Sad- "No, but poachers have offered several thousand for my feet."

8/10

The random karate-chopping is what saved the middle part from going to the dogs. Strong Bad [smiling / wearing shirts] was... unsettling. Just a good, average email. I'm happy for the update.

Hmm... I wonder why my opinion on this email is different than most people's. I didn't like this email. I mean, Strong Bad karate chopping the KOT is sort of repetitive (remember whacking the KOT repeatedly with a scepter four emails ago?). Also, I felt like nothing funny happened during the montage and Strong Bad's explanation of the magazines. I did like the whole Strong Sad's legs and poachers thing, as well as Homestar and his bit (a little), but this email was disappointing, as well as its one one-animation Easter egg. It looked like TBC just put the Easter egg in at the last minute because they had no other ideas for an Easter egg. But those magazine covers that appeared during Strong Bad's long explanation should have been Easter eggs, I'm sure. Well, I hope email 133 is better.

Apparently haven't been reading what everybody else has been saying.

Biz Cas Fri, Biz Cas Fri 2, and modeling. What a week!

Hmm...I wonder if the Princess of Strongbadia has seen it. Her lech-meters must have overloaded when it came out.

'Nyways, I loved the Massachusetts reference! :) It's now in my location.
