Obligatory Wikilink added by Tom: pizzaz

So, what did you guys think of this one? Personally, I liked it a lot. The idea of being unable to get a straight answer out of himself is insane! And I loved the egg about interviewing Biscuit Dough Hands Man

I liked when they both said "Hey the Cheat" and made him explode. And I now have "Here comes the Strong Baaaad" stuck in my head.

Did anybody notice the words scrolling by on the interview screen?

TALKING
MICROPHONES
2 PEOPLE
A PLANT

There may have been other ones...

It was an OK email, but it was worth it for the Dogfood Gangstas quip ("Canned or dry / We neva die") and the upcoming interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man.

Strong Bad isn't as cool as Strong Bad by far. I prefer Strong Bad over Strong Bad. I wonder if we'll see Strong Bad much in later emails?

8 out of 10. I like how they were hanging from the fence in the shot from behind. And the Cheat exploding, again. That's always funny.

I can't believe Biscuit Dough Hands Man appeared again! And, what was up with the frikin' sailor hat? That is not pizzazz! Or pizzas. Pizzas taste better. I prefer pizzas!

This one was really good. Every single joke absoulutly hilarious, very good new graphics and good pot of easter eggs.

So this one gets a 9/10 from me.

Meh, this one was definately better than last week's by far. However, I really feel like there were only a few laugh out loud moments. The whole concept of the e-mail was pretty darn hilarious though, so I thought it was at least up to par.

Yep. I'm done.

A few interesting facts (since the wiki isn't up):

The here goes/comes the Strong Bad may be a referance to the 'Statue' e-mail with the Thnikkaman.

The ranch in the easter egg has the same desert background as in Cheat Commandos... O's

Obviously, the newspaper background is the same as in The Senor Mortgage advert.

The interview may be a reference to... interview (the short).

The Cheat pulling out the plug is a reference to the original H*R book.

Perhaps the whole interview thing has echoes in the e-mail at the end of '50 e-mails' which SB says he remembers.

There are several references to something 'style' something where 'style' would be fine left out, but I can't remember the others at the moment.
That's it for now

My comments:

I think the recent e-mails have been some of the best. With the exception of 'old comics'. In fact, I think the kid's TV thing is my favourite e-mail of all time.

This is similarly cool, though not quite as some of the other more recent ones. I still enjoyed it.

I'm not sure, I'd have to watch it again (not that that's a problem). Oh yeah, and that calligraphy is the same as the 'and Trogdor smote the Kerreck' writing.

The gargle must be from 'gargleman'. 'Ranch in Strongbadia' might be from when Strong Bad says to the Cheat the in 'SB in Jail cartoon' when SB says to teh C 'Maybe we could get a little place in SBia'. Or maybe that's pushing it a bit far. Strong bad gum (from 2 e-mails... Click on 'double the fun') is also mentioned. The echo voice might be from when his voice echoes when he says 'check your e-mail many times in one of the e-mails'. That really is pushing it very far.

It was one of the names he told HomeStar to make fun of.

That's what I thought. I was wondering if it was mentioned earlier though. I've added some more to my post before this

Wiki page is up now, with screenshot, summary, transcript, and easter eggs done by yours truly. New user + first wiki page + first post = solid uncertainty. Oh well, nothing like another LTWFTW to spice things up. From the sound of things, you guys need to get cracking on the "Fun Facts" section. ;)

Oh yeah, and The Cheat's head exploding again definitely gives this email a few extra rating points on my scale. Completely random, and yet somehow predictable. :mrgreen:

That was pretty good. The Cheat blowing up again made me laugh out loud.

I really enjoyed this email. Just the idea of Strong Bad conducting an interview with himself is hilarious. The Cheat's head blowing up was great, too, as were the easter eggs. It's the return of Biscuit-Dough-Hands Man!

10/10. Deserves the Golden Trogdor award. SB interviewing himself is funny to begin with. The clash of the egomaniacs! The Cheat's head exploding made me laugh out loud, which is rare for me in SBemails. This is one of the best post-SBemail 100 Sbemail i've seen. A word to TBC; Great Jorb!

I thought it was stupid, except for The Cheat's head exploding (again). The sailor thing was just dumb.

Sorry, that's the way it is.

I'm not gonna say this was one of the all time best emails, but I will say this, it certainly was better than "old comics". :kot:

Old comics was sad compared to this one.

This was good though, I liked the fact that Strong Bad was interviewing himself, and The Cheat's head exploded. :cheatgrin:

I don't know when is the last time I saw The Cheat explode.

I personally like this one. It features the fifth time that The Cheat's head has exploded (Best Decemberween Ever, Couch Patch, House That Gave Sucky Treats {twice}). That along with Strong Bad trying to convince himself that a sailor's outfit is cool, at least according to The Cheat. Better than Old Comics, even though I thought that was funny too.
