Just goes to show how Strong Bad can completely corrupt a kid's mind.
:senor:

Also, Marpizan + Coach Z... doesn't sound appealing.

Shwoo · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 12:43 am

That was quite funny. I thought the red stuff on the King of Town's beard was tomato sauce. And Coach Z saying Marzipan was his girlfriend was pretty funny too.

This is a great sbemail! I take back all my comments about declining email quality.
It was mainly great because of the thousands of inside references, speaking of which, I have already added 3 to the wiki page and I have thought of more.My first major edit ever!

Ok, my editing got deleted... I don't know why, I just mentioned the references to robots, the peanut action figure and soolnds in inside references. Is there something wrong with that?

Awesome. I love the part about how it's getting harder to provide sources.

Heavyt · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 1:34 am

It was the best one in a while. I laughed at edjukation or whatever. 5/5

biscuithead1293 · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 1:35 am

I loved this one! I've had to make many dioramas before, so I can totally relate to this. My next diorama might include dinosaurs and presidents...

Heh. "Change the downloads page"...That's a good one.

Anyway, I've watched it three times now, and I'm still finding the "Byoo-canon" funny.

I just wish I could change my username on here to Ronmartin Realdude.

netzen · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 3:52 am

It was pretty good. It lost a few points for me with the KOT's beard bit, but the vaporization of Jimmy Carter by a robot, the cotton balls, and the return of Strong Bads "Action Figure" was awsome.

I'll give it a 4/5

Onion Overlord · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 4:26 am

Not sure how the Coach Z easter egg was related, but it was funny.

Better than last week, but that's not saying much.

Shwoo · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 5:01 am

He was talking to Ronmartin Realdude, the alleged author of the book Strong Bad made up earlier.

Awesome email. I'd give it an A. I agree that the bloody patchbeard was offputting , and no homestar... odd. If they didn't have the bloody beard, and DID have H*R...A++

Urgh, I hated making dioramas back in the day. I admit I often did mine at the last minute too. Anyway, it was an awesome e-mail as usual.

Best Parts

Treaty of Guadalupe Yay for Texas history!

Best one in quite a while.

5/5

jedibob5 · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2007 2:53 am

I like how Jimmy Carter was a clothespin with a giant smile on it. The Allosaurus bit was great, too. 5/5.

Did he sell eggs? · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2007 4:23 am

Didn't find it too funny, but it did have some good parts. 3/5.

Ath-a-late · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2007 5:04 am

I remember making dioramas. I never used cotton balls, though. Now I suppose that would have been a better idea than the sofa stuffing.

This e-mail is good because I can relate to that. Just like the guys in Armageddon who saved the world in exchange for not paying taxes anymore... because people can relate to that. 7/10, yo.

Octan · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2007 6:06 am

Best email in recent memory, easily. "To be fair, I did eat all the cotton balls" and assassinating Presidents Buchanan and Carter were hilarious. (Especially with the caricature mouth they used. FUN FACT: I just two weeks ago saw a photo of my cousin hanging out at Jimmy Carter's place; there's actually a giant statue there of a peanut with that very same disproportionate smile!) And I lol'd at "that's bound to be pretty messed up too" for some reason.

Yeah, definitely one of the better ones. And hey! Almost no reliance on inside references! Looks like this is another one to show the folks sometime.

I completely disagree, there were inside references all over the place!
That is what made this email so great!
People who don't know the site wouldn't understand about the peanut Strong Bad, "Air Cardgage", the Soolnds reference, why the KoT would eat all the cottonballs, SB's obsession with robots and dinosaurs...... the list goes on

redlandcannibal · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2007 8:15 am

I thought the e-mail was okay, but what I really didn't get was why the Cheat walked past with the Lappy. I got that he did it right when Strong Bad said "It's really hard to cheat these days," but why the Lappy? I was so confused.

Everything else was pretty awesome, although I have to tell you, the bit with the KoT's beard is gonna give me nightmares.

Da Cheese-it · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2007 8:17 pm

This email wasn't one sided and hard to review like yes wrestling.It gave us the HR goodness we all enjoy. :hr:

5 homestars because it was funny.

I wouldn't call the kot's gluttony or Strong Bad's obsession with robots and dinosaurs "inside references." I agree with Octan's comment.

but the peanut strongbad and the aircardgage along with some few minor references like the soolnds are inside references. i say its more of a half and half, if that made much sense.
