In an Easter egg for the Strong Bad Email, 12:00, there are several VHS tapes that pop out of the VCR when the eject button is pressed. Each tape has a label that is written either in red, blue or black. It has been suggested, at least on that email's article, that the tapes with labels written in red are Strong Bad's, labels written in blue Strong Mad's and labels written in black by Strong Sad's. Anyway, here are the tapes and their labels in the egg (each label's writing is colored accordingly and some have a short explanation of it next to it):

  • Yo! MTV Raps
  • Condorman (1981 movie with Michael Crawford)
  • Hagler vs. Hearns (1985 boxing match on HBO)
  • YCDTOTV (season 2) ("YCDTOTV" means "You Can't Do That On Television")
  • Moscow Peace Festival
  • Car commercials
  • "V" (miniseries from the mid-1980s)
  • The Commish (early 1990s drama with Michael Chiklis)
  • Space shows
  • *M*A*S*H* final episode
  • Joy of Painting (painting show starring Bob Ross; referenced several times on the site)
  • Strong Mad's b-ball game
  • Slam Dunk Contest (Spud Webb) (1986 Slam Dunk Contest)

That list is the one actually on the website and was just to put this thread into context. Anyway, this thread is where you can make up your own ideas for VHS tapes and their labels, written in either red, blue or black. Here are some of my own ideas, to give you a sample:

  • The Jetsons
  • Psycho & N By NW (Alfred Hitchcock movies tend to get referenced a lot on the website; "N By NW" means "North By Northwest")

Those are my ideas to start with. Now, what are some of yours?

What's with the purple and pink labels? And I would think maybe that "Fantasia" would be something in Strong Sad's alley.

Pink must be for Strong Bad and Strong Mad, Purple must be for all three Brothers Strong.
Or maybe vice versa.
