Strong Bad Email #138: space program

Ryan, way killer that your email was chosen.

I thought this email was alright. It wasn't a real standout to me, but it's not as bad as some I've seen (Rock Opera, in particular). I liked the Grilled Cheese parts, the easter egg with Strong Bad's captain's log and the hot 60s looking girl, prompting me to change my username. But other than that, it was pretty average.

2/5

Jeeze. Must I say this again:

"What the f" in trevor the vampire
"Screw all y'all"
The kids Strong Bad should be having with Ali and Ali's sister
The bird
Multiple references to drinking (cold ones)

The site is no more edgier than it used to be. Yeeeeeeesh.

oi, were looking into it too much again! so what if there are references to certain things???? it doesnt make the Toon look bad, its just good humor and fun, and as for Comandos in the classroom they probably did that just because as children they hated seeing films like that in school and decided to parody it in the less used characters of Cheat Comandos.

and i give this a 9 out of ten.

Or "I see The Cheat has been cheating on his new year's resolution. Though I can't really blame him. 'Cause he's The Cheat"

Or "And if ya tryin' ta fade me then you must smoke crack..."

It's certainly not telling people to go smoke crack, is it?

I'm sorry to be off-topic, but why do so many people dislike Rock Opera?

I know, I know, opinion, opinion, but I'd just like to know.

It was gimmicky. The song was good, and it was still a cut above the rest of the things on the IntarWebb, but compared to the rest of the site, it was meh.

Also, check your FREAKING pm's already. Jeeze.

Anyone who thinks otherwise will get BURNINATED!!!! :trogdor:

*Looks around at her cottage nervously* I didn't find it funny. I thought it was pretty boring, actually, since the whole thing was basically Strong Bad randomly saying words from each of his emails.

Yes, but it was so AWESOME!!!!

Rock operas are fun. I made one for my email show. You should try it sometime.

Anyway, let's keep all further rock opera comments here.

Anyways, after several viewers, I must say that this is a fine email. Better than the last one, which I thought was "meh".

Actually, this email will probably always be special to me because I got to make it's wiki page, forum thread AND put it up on both "what's new" sections of the wiki. :cheatgrin:

I'm really digging the "vague understanding of the theory of relativity" since that's what I'm learning about in physics right now. Incidentally, their plan sort of reminded me of the Ender's Game series. Ender really did become rich using realitivty, but not the way shown in the email of course. He travelled close enough to lightspeed that he experienced only a few weeks of travel time while several years passed on Earth. When he landed, his bank account had accumulated millions of dollars of interest.

Haha yeah, we rule! One lab demanding so much of strongbad's attention in such a short time!

Personally, I really liked this email. I thought most of it was great. The Clip Show was pretty awesome. I liked the subtle things the most, like the Van Buren bust on the "spaceship".

hey ryan nice website.. sure looks like you find enough to do despite you're claim you got nothing better to do... uh... wait... i'm confusing myself again... blast!

btw, how often do you email SB? just curious (call me determined, but i do it maybe once a week or so {meaning sometimes more})

I think the greatest part was the captianface log. Shows once again the 3b grilled cheese sandwich.

The part where they spent all their money for the logo was funny, it happened to me once with about 340 cans of soda

ryansturmer · **Posted:** Thu Jan 05, 2006 4:05 pm

I've actually only emailed strongbad about a half a dozen times over the last few years.

I didn't know until I tried it just a little while ago.

i think i might have a go at that. i mean, that guy is so funny (i loved the CHILDEREN! truck!) but i cant find a good avatar. i mean it's all 'that's not a bitmap', 'that's 11MB, the limit is 10MB', 'that page doesn't contain a picture'. IT'S SO DANGED ANNOYING! i'll go do it now.

'babies, having babies'

also, strong bad usually says freakin'. i haven't got a problem with that. but when he says friggin', that's just one more step to the word intended. DON'T SAY IT!
