Videography. I mean, it's been the newest one for nearly six whole months! I guess sbemail206 will be released on Monday to make up for all those six months. I also dislike how in No Loafing, Strong Bad repeatedly jumps on Strong Sad saying he hates him and Strong Sad neither says nor does anything about it.

I don't see what anyone would see in Rock Opera. I doesn't have any actual story or humor. The song isn't good, either. Usually I can at least understand why someone would like a cartoon, even if I don't. I don't understand with Rock Opera at all.

I guess its like any series really.

The first episodes/books/whatevers are often mediocre, or sometimes even duds. But you get to know the chars, and they should be at least sufficiently interesting to keep you coming for more.
Of course, sometimes the earliest work is the best, especially with music, and with most early work there is also those first few gems but still, on the whole. The first is seldom the best.

The real glory time usually comes afterwards (although there are a few very nice ones before it I think SB-emails truly started to hit its stride along the 20th mail), and then at one point it goes downhill (And judging by e-mails such as 'themepark' and 'dangeresque 3', that moment is still far away for H*R.)
And sometimes if series and such go downhill it gets out of the valley again, be it for a shorter or longer time. And sometimes it just plain jumps the shark.

H*R though would have to do at least 20 more e-mails of 'cheatday' quality in a row (or nearly in a row) before I'd worry about shark-jumping though!

Honestly, I expect the next one to at least be decent, if not awesome.


Also, WHY DO so many folks hate Car?

I don't remember the title, but it was a very short Sbemail done on Strong Bad's first computer.

There are several that could qualify:

-tape-leg (really, really dumb; nothing happens and it's not funny at all) [saving grace: constantly mocked, even in the following email (Sue thought it was pathetic in SBE spring cleaning)]
-butt IQ (the stupidity of this email is greater than or equal to that of Strong Bad's old voice) [saving grace: "On a scale from 1 to awesome, I'm super great"]
-homestar hair (just an example of him having to answer every email)
-making out (just plain dumb)

I'd say a pretty bad one is Car. I just didn't find it very funny. At all.

I don't know why, but a couple of the Tandy sbemails were quite boring. I think Homestar Hair, butt IQ, i rule and stand-up to be exact.

They are short and don't really have that much sbemail charm in 'em.

edit: I would say tape-leg but once you understand the email, it is essential to understand the inside jokes regarding it on the site.

Long Pants and superhero name, due to them not answering the question at all and simply being almost entirley making fun of the sender.
