This is a weird idea for a topic, I know... Have you ever clicked on a sbemail that you thought would be something totally different than what you thought it would be? not counting "sbemails taken in a different direction?" I.E. I thought "retirement" would be about  talking about what he'd do when he retired a-to the MOOOOON!! Guess what - ERRK!I also thought that with "the bird," "some kinda robot," and "the facts," and lots more. |

I always went to the sbemail page before clicking on the link to the latest one. And yes, I found some of the names to be a little deceiving before I even watched these emails. Of course, there are titles that should've been a little more specific. If I were responsible for titles, I would've changed some the following names to more suitable ones: Animal -> Made-Up Animal Pop-Up -> Pop-Up Book Buried -> Buried Ruins Rated -> either R-Rated or Restricted And that's all I can think of...for now. Can anyone else think of better names for some other ones? Perhaps Specially Marked could be changed to Cereal Boxes or something. |

Actually, now that I think of it, the sbemails were probably named like that to keep us hanging. Oh, well. |

"huttah" could have been renamed "the cheat", but I guess they didn't want two consecutive emails named after characters. I don't know why they wouldn't want that though. |

I keep mistaking "for kids" for "kids' book". |

I thought "the bird" was about hunting or something. I had no idea that it was about the "f*** you" thing, and I was pretty shocked... |

And what about 'the bet' ? The question asked was 'have you ever gone to the king of town's place for dinner?'. That always confused me. Kevin DuBrow? Awasome, but confusing. |

huttah! That was a title that made no sense, at all. And apparently I'm not the only one who confuses for kids with pop up book. |

Okay, I thought "the bird" was about birdwatching. Turns out I was wrong. |

The title of the email is one of the names that Strong Bad calls her.

I didn't know a crap what 12:00 was, I thought spring cleaning would be SB cleaning a house or something. "What?" was my expression to colonization. |

I still wish they renamed "for kids" to "kids' show" or "public television" |

For some reason, I thought that "flashback" would be about a bunch of funny stuff from the past, but instead, it was a CRAPPY KID'S BOOK!!!!!!!! |

I thought THE BIRD would be about just that: birds. Also, I thought CAR would actually be about cars. |

"Car" would have been about cars if Homestar didn't interrupt. |

I thought "lady...ing" was going to have direct references to making out. And if you're not careful, you could get it mixed up with "lady fan". |

One of the ones that confused me right off the bat was unnatural. At first, I thought it might somehow relate to Coach Z, not Bubs. |

Oh, yeah, I just thought of another thing: I thought that THE MOVIES would be about the descriptions of different movies, rather than having an experience inside the theater. |

I completely didn't get huttah! at all. Why the crap was it called that? I also confused rated for the movies and I thought the bird would be about an ugly bird or something. |
