This wasn't a great Sbemail by any means, but the return to Strong Bad E-Mails is extremely important to the success of the website, and I think they made a good move bringing them back. The actual specific one where they return to it was bound to be gimmicky and not fantastic, but that's unimportant.

Some people (I think TBC included) have underestimated the need for these cartoons to be seen through the lens of Strong Bad's viewpoint. As ridiculous as he can be, he's really far FAR more normal than most of the other characters, and thus having someone with whom we can relate, who gets that what's going on is strange and absurd and has enough knowledge of societal normals, common sense, pop culture and current events that the word can seem familiar...

...Strong Bad's not my favorite character, nor do I find him to be the funniest character, but he is a great and necessary main character. I think the cartoons where Homestar is the main character don't work nearly as well.

I agree with everything you say 100%. He speaks english, for one. IMA, SB is flexible, and his range of emotions is flexible, which makes his reactions to other characters more real. (Unlike a character like Strong Sad where it's uncomfortable when he's happy, or Bubs, where it's uncomfortable to see him sad.)

THANK YOU! Somebody agrees with me for once! Well didn't homestar actually have like 60+ hremails? And I agree,I thought hremails were WAY funnier! I love when Homestar made fun of Shadow Homestar in that one :mrgreen:

I personally dislike hremails (with hremail 2000 the only acception). Though, it's your opinion, & I respect that.

You know, I liked hremails okay. But I couldn't see them being as funny as sbemails for as long as sbemails have lasted. I mean, 100 hremails would probably have been pretty stale. Besides, it's obvious from the fact that hremails were never added outside of the NEW STUFF menus that they were meant to only be part of a story arc so TBC could take a long long break from sbemails (which I'm sure they wanted). They were never meant to be a permanent site fixture or a replacement for sbemails.

They just wanted fans to wonder whether or not sbemails would come back (they probably weren't sure, and waited until they felt like doing it again)

...Oh my God.

Does this mean - I mean I don't even - what do we -

Me: "It's like my whole world's been turned upside down!"
My little brother: "Or it's just been turned right side up."

..So the Lappy is dead and the New Paper burned. What will happen? Is this really a triumphant return? Are we being taunted? What could possibly happen now that the Brothers Chaps caved and gave the fans what they begged for?

And of course, what will it mean to me that I will only be able to respond on my mother's lappy, my own lappy having died i a milk-related accident? We'll see. We'll see.

And now, gobbledegook from the aforementioned brother:

I like how TBC mess with us so much. They continued the emails, but in a way that makes it seem like it won't continue anymore.

I'm very sure it will, but I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a few weeks, just to get people thinking. It is an email though, so that's a start... Also, I found it very funny, which is good too.

If that happened, then they would change the e-mail menu like the other times. Besides that, a decent 4-star cartoon

Actually, not every time. For a short amount of time Strong Bad was absent but the Compy still there in an email menu. Change the ".html" at the end of the URL to ".swf" to see what I mean.

Anybody notice the fact that The Cheat didn't help Stro Bro Destroy his computer? I found that interesting..

Duuude... if this email was an explosion it would be like DOOOOOOOOOJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ!!!! [firehose-sized stream of spit gushes out of mouth] Then it'd be like.....GAH-DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHJJJJJJJJJ!!! [pool flies out of mouth]

That's not my wife.

Like I said before, Strong Bad Emails is never coming back and this is just a sick April Fool joke. Wait, it was released in June. Darn. For once in my life, I'm wrong. Aw well. :sb:

Wow, that was pretty awesome! SBemails are finally back, with added spittle, but I just didn't feel like the Lappy really needed to go. I mean, he was blowing it up just because he felt he could? Wasn't the Lappy like, his favourite computer? Well, anyway, despite the random computer blower-uppery, I'm going to give this a...

4/5!

He blew his computer up because he didn't want someone else to blow it up or destroy it.

I loved this e-mail. I don't know why, but something about it I just really liked. Possibly the fact that it's a return to sbemails, idk, but i loved it.

Yeah, I liked it. It musta been the explosions. That also explains why I like MythBusters.

This was a good email because Strong Bad makes a comeback to his emails. The only thing I didn't like was that the Lappy died.

Speaking of the Lappy, someone said that he brought her back to life,but has a different name.

Here's another video how she was brought back.
